NCDOT Project ATLAS

• Advancing Transportation through

Linkages, Automation, and Screening

Goal is to improve program delivery using

GIS tools, applications, and data

Project ATLAS Overview

2018 STIP projects

Prioritization• urban loops and extensions, less bypasses • more regionalized approach to project assessment.

NCDOT Project ATLAS

• Objectives

– Regional evaluation using GIS

– Early screening

– Inform scope, schedule and budget

– Automated reporting

– One-stop-shop for a project tracking and data

ATLAS Search Tool

What the tool does for you:• Review and download data from multiple sources

at once

• Establish consistency on data sources being used

across project teams for the same deliverables

and decisions

ATLAS Search Tool

Project Atlas Overview

ATLAS Screening Tool

What the tool does for you:• Provides high-level summary report on key

environmental layers/features in your study area

• Downloads of GIS datasets with features in your

study area

Build your Study Area

Buffer your Study Area

Select Data to Screen

Your Report

• Project ID (STIP or SPOT ID)

• Upload a .zip file• Build using map

• Required for point and line features

• Choose from over 60 layers

• View• Download• Share

How to Build a Screening

• Project ATLAS Overview

ATLAS Workbench

• Key Functionality

– Track project workflow

– Ingestion of standard deliverable documents

and spatial data

– View your project within the context of

surrounding projects and data for those

projects

– Automated report generation

NCDOT Project ATLAS

We are:

• Not eliminating field work or jobs

• Pushing more work earlier in the process to

help scheduling, budgeting and scoping

• Helping to deliver better projects by:

• Tracking workflow and deliverables

• Improving GIS data and management

• Improving processes

• Providing Automation

NCDOT Project ATLAS• Ongoing Work

– Creating and compiling new data layers

– Verifying modeled layers with field work

– Engaging agencies in process improvements

• ATLAS 2.0

– Incorporating other business users

– Expanding data layers

– Integrating multiple systems

– Increasing automation
